IMDb (CNET 100: iPhone Apps)

Sure, I've used IMDb for years to look up my favorite actors or to find out what year a certain movie came out; however, when watching a movie or TV show at home with my wife, I insist that we both remain focused on what's happening on the screen. This means no laptops are allowed (unless she's forcing me to watch a "Twilight" movie...again).

With IMDb for iPhone I can actually break my own rules of no distractions without her knowing! OK, I'm sure she notices, especially after I announce, "Wow, Freddie Prinze Jr. looks older than me now. I wonder how old he really is?" This is immediately followed by me grabbing my phone and thumbing my screen. A few minutes later, I can feel better about myself for still looking younger than younger-than-me Freddy Prinze Jr., and she's entertained by the random trivia.

See? With IMDb for iPhone , everyone is a winner. OK, I'm starting to sound like a commercial for these apps now.
